他照她的话做了,过了五分钟,她也来到起居室,他正抽着香烟。

1
-

He did as she bade and in five minutes she joined him. He was smoking a cigarette.

2
-

“我说,能给我来点儿白兰地和苏打水吗?”

2
-

“I say, could I have a brandy and soda?”

3
-

“好的,我按铃叫人送来。”

3
-

“Yes, I\’ll ring.”

4
-

“照目前的情况来看,我觉得这事对你不会有什么伤害的。”

4
-

“I don\’t think it would hurt you by the look of things.”

5
-

在等男仆回应的时候,他们沉默了一会儿。她又下了一道命令。

5
-

They waited in silence for the boy to answer. She gave the order.

6
-

“你给实验室打个电话吧,问问沃尔特在不在,”过了一会儿她说道,“他们听不出你的声音。”

6
-

“Ring up the laboratory and ask if Walter is there,” she said then. “They won\’t know your voice.”

7
-

他拿起了电话,问了她号码。他在电话里询问了费恩博士在不在实验室。然后,他放下了听筒。

7
-

He took up the receiver and asked for the number. He inquired whether Dr. Fane was in. He put down the receiver.

8
-

“午饭后他就不在实验室了,”他告诉她,“你问问那男仆他是不是回来过了。”

8
-

“He hasn\’t been in since tiffin,” he told her. “Ask the boy whether he has been here.”

9
-

“我不敢,要是他回来过了,而我又没看见他,这看上去太奇怪了。”

9
-

“I daren\’t. It\’ll look so funny if he has and I didn\’t see him.”

10
-

男仆拿来了酒水,汤森自顾自地倒了一杯。当他递给凯蒂一杯时,她摇了摇头。

10
-

The boy brought the drinks and Townsend helped himself. When he offered her some she shook her head.

11
-

“如果真是沃尔特,我们该如何是好?”

11
-

“What\’s to be done if it was Walter?” she asked.

12
-

“也许他不会在乎的。”

12
-

“Perhaps he wouldn\’t care.”

13
-

“你是说沃尔特吗?”

13
-

“Walter?”

14
-

她的语气充满狐疑。

14
-

Her tone was incredulous.

15
-

“我印象中他相当腼腆,你知道,有些男人经不起场面,他们明白闹出了丑闻对他们可没有丝毫好处。我觉得不可能是沃尔特,但哪怕就是他,我感觉他也不会闹出什么动静的,他会当这事没有发生过一样。”

15
-

“It\’s always struck me he was rather shy. Some men can\’t bear scenes, you know. He\’s got sense enough to know that there\’s nothing to be gained by making a scandal. I don\’t believe for a minute it was Walter, but even if it was, my impression is that he\’ll do nothing. I think he\’ll ignore it.”

16
-

她思索了一会儿。

16
-

She reflected for a moment.

17
-

“他特别爱我。”

17
-

“He\’s awfully in love with me.”

18
-

“哦,那样更好,你可以哄哄他。”

18
-

“Well, that\’s all to the good. You\’ll get round him.”

19
-

他给了她一个迷人的微笑,对他的这种微笑,她发现自己总是无法抗拒。他的微笑首先在清澈的蓝眼睛中慢慢散开,然后逐渐游弋到有型的嘴角,最后到达小巧、洁白、整齐的牙齿。这是一种十分性感的微笑,足以令她的心为之融化。

19
-

He gave her that charming smile of his which she had always found so irresistible. It was a slow smile which started in his clear blue eyes and travelled by perceptible degrees to his shapely mouth. He had small white even teeth. It was a very sensual smile and it made her heart melt in her body.

20
-

“我并不是很担心,”她说道,带着一股突然涌出的喜悦,“这值得。”

20
-

“I don\’t very much care,” she said, with a flash of gaiety. “It was worth it.”

21
-

“都是我的错。”

21
-

“It was my fault.”

22
-

“你为什么过来了?看到你来让我又惊又喜。”

22
-

“Why did you come? I was amazed to see you.”

23
-

“我忍不住要来看你。”

23
-

“I couldn\’t resist it.”

24
-

“亲爱的。”

24
-

“You dear.”

25
-

她的身子依偎着他,乌黑闪亮的双眼充满激情地凝视着他的眼睛,嘴微微张着,带着渴望。他伸过双臂把她揽了过来,她发出一声狂喜的轻叹,忘情地投入了他的怀抱。

25
-

She leaned a little towards him, her dark and shining eyes gazing passionately into his, her mouth a little open with desire, and he put his arms round her. She abandoned herself with a sigh of ecstasy to their shelter.

26
-

“你知道你总能指望上我。”他说道。

26
-

“You know you can always count on me.” he said.

27
-

“我跟你在一起幸福极了,我希望我能让你感到和我一样的幸福。”

27
-

“I\’m so happy with you. I wish I could make you as happy as you make me.”

28
-

“你不再害怕了?”

28
-

“You\’re not frightened any more?”

29
-

“我讨厌沃尔特。”她回答道。

29
-

“I hate Walter,” she answered.

30
-

他不是很清楚应该如何作答,所以亲吻着她,而她用脸温柔地贴着他的脸。

30
-

He did not quite know what to say to this, so he kissed her. Her face was very soft against his.

31
-

但是他抬起她的手腕,看了看腕上小金表上的时间。

31
-

But he took her wrist on which was a little gold watch and looked at the time.

32
-

“你知道我现在必须做什么了吗?”

32
-

“Do you know what I must do now?”

33
-

“溜走?”她微笑着说。

33
-

“Bolt?” she smiled.

34
-

他点了点头。一时间她又更紧地贴着他,但她能觉出他想要离开了,所以她放开了手。

34
-

He nodded. For one instant she clung to him more closely, but she felt his desire to go, and she released him.

35
-

“你玩忽职守,真不害臊,我不理你了。”

35
-

“It\’s shameful the way you neglect your work. Be off with you.”

36
-

他从来不拒绝这种挑逗性的调情。

36
-

He could never resist the temptation to flirt.

37
-

“你似乎急不可耐地要摆脱我呀。”他轻佻地说。

37
-

“You seem in a devil of a hurry to get rid of me,” he said lightly.

38
-

“你知道我不愿意让你离开。”

38
-

“You know that I hate to let you go.”

39
-

她的回答低沉而认真,他无言以对,只好讨好般地笑了笑。

39
-

Her answer was low and deep and serious. He gave a flattered laugh.

40
-

“你的小脑袋瓜儿别再为今天的神秘来客伤神了,我敢肯定是女仆,而且如果真有什么麻烦,我保证帮你摆平。”

40
-

“Don\’t worry your pretty little head about our mysterious visitor. I\’m quite sure it was the amah. And if there\’s any trouble I guarantee to get you out of it.”

41
-

“你有很多经验吗?”

41
-

“Have you had a lot of experience?”

42
-

他的微笑显示出他既觉得好玩,又有点儿得意。

42
-

His smile was amused and complacent.

43
-

“没有呀,但我还是要自夸一下,我的脑袋还是蛮灵光的。”

43
-

“No, but I flatter myself that I\’ve got a head screwed on my shoulders.”
